In fact, he is not expected to be more than a receptive candidate for the nomina tion, although Democratic leaders take it for granted tnat ne wm i spond to the call if the national emer gency continues. Following the elections of last No vember, which resulted in consider able Republican gains, there develop ed in Congress a spirit of insur gency against the President's leader v.; tvio .ottituHp developed beyond Silly. - Vinwfver. and recently there i v. in tha nninion of this writ iuo irec", ' 1 1 vi er, a strong reaction in favor of the President Some alert opponents of the Chief Executive have recognized this trend and are now insisting that criticism of the President should be limited to essentials and based upon funda mental principles rather than in the captious, critical and carping tude of the recent past. The Republican Party strongly stimulated by the results of last year's election now exhibits through its leadership a confidence that in 1944 the people will turn to the G. 0. P. again.

At this time, however, regardless of how we look at the forthcoming presidentoal election, the tigure oi President Roosevelt dominates the presidential scene.
